Merit Brass XNL103-12 Street Elbow 3/4 in Mnpt X Fnpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL103-12 is a 3/4 inch nominal brass street elbow rated for 125 lb service. It connects using a male NPT inlet and a female NPT outlet, making it a space-saving fitting for directional changes in piping runs without requiring a separate union or coupling. The rough brass finish is standard for plumbing and gas distribution applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where a 90-degree change of direction is needed in a threaded pipe system.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and gas piping where brass fittings are code-acceptable. The MNPT x FNPT configuration allows the fitting to thread directly onto a pipe end on the male side while accepting a threaded pipe or fitting on the female side, reducing the total number of connections in a tight space.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch nominal size fits standard 3/4 inch NPT threaded pipe
• MNPT x FNPT end style provides a compact inline directional change
• 125 lb pressure rating suitable for water, air, and gas service within rated limits
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• Rough brass finish accepts pipe dope or PTFE tape for leak-free sealing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembly or installation. Apply PTFE tape or approved pipe thread sealant to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is softer than iron and susceptible to thread damage from excessive torque.
